"Update info" link does not work in Windows 8 by using the Microsoft account

I have Windows 8 Pro. I had signed with my Microsoft account.

Recently, I ran into problems of synchronization and so had to sign out and sign in my account from Microsoft on my PC in Windows 8.
I have 2 steps check activate my Microsoft account and authenticate using the authenticator application for Windows Phone 8.
I signed on the Microsoft account on my PC after switching to a local account and on the Microsoft account. I used normal password (not the app since it does not accept it). Successfully signed in, she says that the parameters can not be synchronized until I've "update info" in my Microsoft account. I know it asks me the passcode generated by the application, but the link is dead. Here is the screenshot of the link.
How can I make it work?
Reset my PC isn't an option. I can't afford to lose everything I have in there. In addition, a system at this stage image backup is useless for obvious reasons.

Hi Ram,

As the link update security information is dead, you can connect to the Microsoft account directly and update security information.
Here is the link: https://account.live.com/summarypage.aspx

  • ENVY 15 t-j000 quad edition cto: outputs audio switching does not work in windows 10 birthday when the headset is connected

    Hi guys.

    As you know in 10 anniversary update windows, you can switch between outputs sound when the headphone is plugged directly from the sound icon in the taskbar, but it does not work as it should. If the headset is unplugged then the sound comes from the speakers and they are plugged in when the noise is coming from the headset and I can't select speakers. It shows two devices, but when I select one of them the speakers are selected. Also I tried to playback devices, but still, I can't put the headset as default playback device. She is forced to be like the only communication device. I've updated the audio driver but nothing has not improved. My audio driver is codec IDT high-definition. In addition, I tried the generic driver from the sound of microsoft, which is called "codec high definition audio" and it shows a device like speaker and it doesn't detect any helmet or communication device. So, what's the problem? I am able to use this option of windows 10 birthday or not? If yes how? I need this option because I use a headset a lot and I don't want to plug them each time. Thank you for your attention. I can give additional information if it is needed and I'm hear to help.

    Hi David,

    If you remember, I had problem with the IDT driver after upgrade to windows 10 and other updates. I'll be back to tell you good news. Finally, I solved the problem partially and I'll explain what I did.

    Today, I found that there is some audio drivers in the microsoft catalog site, so I went out there and looked for a codec high definition audio. A list came and saw that there are three tempo IDT Audio driver that are compatible with windows 10. They are all IDT Audio driver version 6.10.6504.0 and they are made in 2015. I downloaded all the drivers of three and tested. The first two of them does not solve my problem but the last which is "Tempo driver update for codec IDT high-definition" made in 08/05/2015 with 13.1 MB did the job. I must mention that you need to install this driver on generic windows sound driver for good results. If you install hp IDT drivers probably do not get good results. After installing this driver now I am able to switch between outputs audio (headphones and loudspeakers). The driver can detect my headset exactly as what it is. He shows me an output until I plug in my headphones and it then adds another exit in the helmet. I put my headphones or internal speakers as default playback device which I couldn't do with other drivers. There are just two problems that does not matter much to me, and I can't ignore them. The first is the light of the button mute on the keyboard does not work with this driver which is not very important, and the second is that there is no Equalization of beats in this driver and instead there is an audio driver IDT, which is very similar to the equalizer, but it beats not affect only the internal speakers the headphones that is more important to me because the sound via the headphones is very clear and good. If there was some ablity to HP to change this driver and add audio beats and allow also the light on the button mute then it would be perfect. The link for this driver is here:

    Driver IDT tempo for windows 10 and put on subsequent day

    Just download the latest driver with 13.1 MB size and enjoy.

If this is not the case, stop advertising as such. Its time Microsoft was made responsible for the costs involved in the duty of the latest edition of the software because of their own mess.

  • Satellite A210 (PSAEG) - Microphone does not work on Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello, the microphone does not work on windows 7 64-bit, the driver that I use is 64-bit Windows Vsta. The volume is implemented maximum and so is the amplification but no way to make it work with the software assistant camera Skype or toshiba.
    Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    Hi Largo09,

    Usually, you need to install the webcam driver and sound to get the microphone working. The microphone is a part of webcam

    As you wrote, Satellite A210 is not Windows 7 64 bit supported, so the only option you have the Vista 64 bit drivers

    In my opinion, you should check if the Microphone is turned on in Windows audio settings. There you can also activate the Microphone Amplifier, which can increase the volume of the microphone.

    Hi, I have acrobat adobe 6.0, but it does not work on windows 7, y at - it an available update?

    To be more precise, it is not a question of Acrobat 6, having not been tested under Windows 7. We know that it does not work due to changes in the operating system architecture. The first version of Acrobat to all compatible with Windows 7 is Acrobat 8.1 (an update to Acrobat 8). The latest version of Acrobat (and the only one currently available for licenses) is Acrobat 11.
